Welcome to Worldwork 2008 in London, UK
We are delighted to invite you to the Worldwork seminar
in 2008.
| Worldwork is
the global application of Process Work developed by Arnold Mindell
and colleagues, of working with large groups and communities
on social and political issues. |
Many societies are concerned with:
- What it means to live in
culturally diverse ways?
- Where and how can everyone find a home in today’s world?
- How
does being at home relate to our inner personal worlds
and outer diversity?
- How can core issues like migration, asylum,
privilege, marginalisation and discrimination in multi-cultural
societies be more clearly understood?
- How is the planet earth
to be cared for and to be a home for us all?
London is an ideal venue to explore these questions: it has the
proud distinction of being one of world’s most ethnically
and religiously diverse cities. Each Worldwork seminar is unique,
based on its location, the individuals who attend, the global
and local social and political climate, and the spirit that moves
us when we gather. Worldwork in London will certainly be influenced
by the social and political climate of the UK, including its
colonial legacy.
The United Kingdom is made up of 4 constituent
countries; Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. In
London more than 300 languages are spoken. Additionally about
30% of London’s
population is foreign born. London has been sustained by a long
history of immigration and some would say has a deep diversity ‘dreaming’.

The seminar is a non profit making event and is sponsored by Global Process Institute and hosted by RSPOPUK in
partnership with Annwin Slovakia
and Udruga
MI, Croatia, and CFOR,
UK.
The seminar will be led by an international team of Worldwork
facilitators including the founders Arnold
and Amy Mindell. We
recognize that leadership emerges organically out of group process
and believe that everyone is a potential facilitator and can
lead or act as an elder in awareness and learning for the rest.
The spirit of Worldwork manifests through all parts of the project:
teamwork, networking, planning, fundraising, and community forums
and events leading up to the seminar. We meet with the intention
of practising deep democracy, recognising that Worldwork is as
much our attitude and philosophy as a method or single event.
